In the bed-of-roses season, when the home lacks nothing — no want of comfort or necessities — the Adamic nature in the couple stays hidden.

But when hope is lost, when the family’s source of supply is locked up in the desert because of hard times, then the true nature of each person is revealed.

That is when you truly know a good partner, not in affluence.

That is the moment of full manifestation of matrimonial experience — a season full of stories. — *Johnson Adetomiwa*
